In this episode of Hikes & Mics, we sit down with Ralston Garrett—adventurer, storyteller, and the creative force behind Ralston Garrett Photography. From recovering after a serious injury to scaling Utah’s iconic peaks, Ralston shares how hiking and photography became twin passions that now guide his life.

We journey through his favorite wild places—from petroglyphs at Delicate Arch to the quiet beauty of Capitol Reef’s backcountry—and hear how he captures fleeting moments for future generations. Ralston opens up about the challenges of outdoor photography, from harsh winter storms to the mental stillness found at high altitudes, and his upcoming black-and-white coffee table book featuring Utah’s national parks like you’ve never seen them before.

Whether you're a hiker, creative, or both, this episode is filled with inspiration, grit, and visual wonder.
